Substantial weather protection can still be lightweight - and the Microlight Jacket from Sierra Designs offers the compressibility, water resistance, and adjustability you've been searching for without the heavy price tag. Keep it stuffed in your pack season after season knowing at any moment a weather-beating layer of polyester taffeta coated with durable water repellent (DWR) is within reach. Specifications based on size Large.
The Sierra Designs Microlight Jacket relies on 100-percent nylon mini ripstop for durable, lightweight weather protection. An outrageous price-to-performance ratio makes the Microlight a mainstay shell, with a full-coverage hood for inclement weather, an adjustable drawcord at the waist, and elasticized cuffs to seal out blowing rain. The PU coating lasts for years and the Microlight stuffs into its own self-fabric stuff sack for convenience.
The Marco Polo of Sierra Designs's jacket line-the Microlight has been across the globe, stashed in fanny packs for desert runs, pulled on for sightseeing in Paris, or tied around a waist for dawn-patrol dog walking in Central Park.

Sierra Designs Microlight Jacket review | |
| Rating: | |
The Sierra Designs Microlight Jacket is a great jacket for many reasons. First, it is packable to the size of about a 16 oz beer can and weighs next to nothing. Second, the jacket fits well and doesn't run small or large. It has draw strings on the waist as well as the hood. It is also inexpensive, and you get your money's worth, especially when it is on sale now for $30. | |

Small and packable | |
| Rating: | |
This is a good jacket for what it is. It is not a true rain jacket, and in prolonged rain it will not keep you completely dry. But it works just fine for occasional/brief showers. It packs very small (in its bag, it is about 6" x 3" x 3") and is nice for throwing in your daypack (or car) in case you may encounter a stray shower or some wind. The fit is pretty much true-to-size, especially if you aren't heavily layered underneath it. It's nice to have a stuff sack, rather than having to deal with trying to stuff the jacket into one of its own pockets. All-in-all, this is a useful 'just in case' jacket, but if I knew that I was going to be encountering heavy rain, I'd opt for something more waterproof. | |

Solid Lightweight Rain Coat | |
| Rating: |  |
I can't complain much about this jacket. It does exactly what I wanted it to. It's super lightweight and compact (rolls up into this tiny handheld sack), it seems to be completely waterproof, and it looks pretty nice on. my only complaint is that it can be kind of hot when you're wearing it in the summer like I have been. But that sort of thing is hard to avoid with rain jackets, because they aren't very breathable. | |

pretty good | |

This seems like it will serve its purpose. We travel A LOT and tend to find ourselves in rainy places! It will be nice to have a jacket that packs as small as a pocket. My boy is tall and thin so the large seems to be a good fit. Arm length could be another half inch but its do-able! | |

GREAT for the price. I haven't been out in any sustained showers but it holds up very well for what I use it for, something small and light that will keep me dry if i get caught in rain. | |

Not Satisfied with the Color | |
| Rating: |  |
This jacket seems like a decent jacket for the price, but I am returning the one I ordered. The "Crimson" color does not match the pictures on the web site at all. The actual jacket is really a maroon color while the site shows it as being red. I can't get use to the maroon. Its quite awful, so I am returning this jacket. Unfortunately, none of the other colors are available in my size now, so this ones a bust. | |

it's ok | |

| the first couple of times I used this jacket it worked great then while I was out on a 4 hour hike in on and off light rain my hole back and both shoulders were soaked. I'm going to try treating it with some water-proofing and see if that helps. pros, it's very light and easy to put on and put away. this jacket is even easier to pack. | |

OK for light rain & short trips | |
| Rating: |  |
| I bike to work daily in Hawai'i and tried this out during the rainy season (70-80s F). OK for short trips in light rain but add a slight headwind and the rain comes right through the unprotected zipper. And after one year the rain-resistant coating is pretty much shot. I'll keep looking... | |
